Things That Just Piss Me Off

I know I’ve been on a tv kick lately, but tv is getting so bad it prompts me to post about it.

Today it’s paid programming.

I know networks need to make money. The Internet is breaking them. They do not know how to adapt it seems. They just keep making tv worse rather than better in response to the revenue the Internet is taking away from them.

It seems like networks have the ability to hire the best and brightest people, but they obviously don’t. If the networks were smart, they would find ways to make tv better so they can compete with the Internet. Instead it just keeps getting worse.

Don’t want to compete for a time-slot? Just put on a reality show that costs little to produce or sell it to someone who wants to sell the latest diet craze, the latest exercize equipment no one will use even if they buy it, nothing down real estate dreams, or the latest item you don’t need from RONCO.

These paid programming shows are ridiculous infomercials, yet people must be buying from them or they wouldn’t put them on. So it’s the people that buy these ridiculous products and schemes that are at fault right along with the networks for us having this many of them on the air.

The one I saw last night really got me. “You can buy 10 websites for just $39.95!. No need to know html. Our website editor is easy to use. You could making as much as $2500 per day just by building these 10 websites on our server and domain name! You don’t have to know anything about promoting your website! You probably don’t know how email works, but you know how to send and receive email. This is just as easy. You don’t need to know how it works, just buy these 10 websites and start making money today! Then they follow with all the fake testimonials of people getting rich from their $39.95 websites.

If you buy from these paid programming infomercials, you deserve to lose all of your money because you’re just too stupid to keep it.

Stumble it!
